•Cisco WCS Location includes all the features present in the Cisco WCS Base, plus the ability to track a single Wi-Fi device on demand or expand location capabilities by adding a Cisco Wireless Location Appliance to simultaneously track up to 2500 Wi-Fi devices.

Types of Licenses

The licensing information for existing Cisco WCS deployments are being upgraded to support Cisco Unified Wireless Network Software Release 4.1.82.0. (While previous Cisco WCS SKUs will be available until September 2006, Cisco recommends that you purchase the new Cisco WCS SKUs outlined in the WCS Ordering Guide (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6305/products_data_sheet0900aecd804b4646.html) for a more seamless migration to licensing. This chapter includes information on new or expansion Cisco WCS licenses, migrating from CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE) to Cisco WCS, upgrading to the Cisco WCS Location option, and deploying the free Cisco WCS demonstration license. The versions of Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS) licenses are as follows:

Note When the number of access points exceeds the limit of those licensed, WCS generates an alarm. Also, when the user logs into WCS, they are alerted if the licensed access point count has been exceeded.

Note CiscoWorks WLSE Express (Model 1030) and CiscoWorks WLSE (Model 1105 or 1133) are NOT supported with this SKU. DO NOT install the CiscoWorks WLSE CDs on the CiscoWorks WLSE Express (Model 1030) appliance or CiscoWorks WLSE (Model 1105 or 1133) because this conversion will not work, and it is not supported by Cisco Systems.

•AIR-WCS-DEMO-K9 — For customers wishing to download the new full featured, location-enabled Cisco WCS demonstration license that supports ten access points for up to 30 days.

Note The free 30-day trial license is NOT supported by the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).

Licensing Enforcement

Cisco Unified Wireless Network Software Release 4.1.82.0 enforces software based licensing. Customers are prompted to enter license files by all new Cisco WCS SKU families. Existing customers migrating to release 4.1.82.0 will also be impacted by licensing and should contact their Cisco Sales Representative or TAC to obtain Product Authorization Key (PAK) certificate if they have not already received PAK certificate from Cisco. For more information, refer to the WCS Ordering Guide (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6305/products_data_sheet0900aecd804b4646.html).

All Cisco WCS licenses can be purchased or acquired directly from Cisco.com via the normal Cisco ordering processes. Cisco Unified Wireless Network Software Release 4.1.82.0 can be downloaded from Cisco.com or, for a nominal charge, a CD (WCS-CD-K9) can be purchased from the WCS-STANDARD-K9 or WCS-LOC-UPG-K9 SKU families. The WCS-CD-K9 contains one software image of Cisco WCS version 4.0 on a CD. Customers can select the appropriate Cisco WCS installer to designate whether they would like to install a Windows or Linux version. The Cisco WCS base or location features and access point quantity are activated after installation by inserting the license file that is tied to the original purchased Cisco WCS SKU. This CD is shipped via U.S. mail to the purchaser's address.

For the WCS-WLSE-UPG-K9 SKU family, two CDs are automatically shipped with any order in this specific SKU family. These CDs are special purpose CDs that are used specifically to convert the Cisco Works WLSE platform to Cisco WCS.

The Cisco WCS free demonstration license, AIR-WCS-DEMO-K9 is only available as a software download from Cisco.com. Within the 30 day trial period, this free license can be upgraded to one of the non-expiring Cisco WCS SKUs by applying license files generated through the purchase of one of the non-expiring Cisco WCS SKU families.

Product Authorization Key Certificate

All Cisco WCS SKUs require a PAK certificate to register the Cisco WCS license. The PAK is a paper certificate sent via U.S. mail from Cisco Systems upon purchase of the Cisco WCS license. The PAK certificate allows customers to receive a Cisco WCS license. It is used to register the Cisco WCS and generate license files. All customers must go to the PAK registration site listed on their PAK certificate to complete their Cisco WCS registration. The PAK certificate provides clear instructions on how to complete the Cisco WCS licensing process.

Note All customers that purchase Cisco WCS from Cisco.com via download or CD must activate their Cisco WCS license by registering at the PAK site. Customers will receive the PAK via U.S. mail. Cisco WCS will not be activated until the PAK registration process is completed.

Determining Which License To Use

You should select the correct license based on your deployment situation, the number of access points to be supported, and Cisco WCS options (base or location). All SKUs within a SKU family can be combined with equivalent option levels such as base to base or location to location. Unequal option levels (base and location) cannot be mixed. Only one type of license can be used on the WCS at one time. For example, if your computer has a location license, you cannot add a base license. You can add to the current license by purchasing a license to increase the access point count. For example, if you have a location license with an access point count of 50 and in a year you need to add more access points, you can buy another location license with an access point count of 100, apply it to the WCS, and have a WCS with location license for 150 access points. You can add a license to increase the number of access points in increments of 50, 100, 500, 1000, or 2500.

Note If you have a base license and want to upgrade to a location, you will need to purchase a location upgrade license. You need to purchase a location upgrade license equivalent to the total number of access points with a base license. For example, if you have three base licenses with support for 50, 100, and 200 access points (for a total of 350 access points), you must purchase a single location upgrade license with support for 350 access points.

Installing a License

You need to have the Wireless Control System license key file to install your license. The key file is distributed to you in an email from Cisco Systems. This file activates the features that you have purchased for your Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS). Do not edit the contents of the .lic file in any way or you will render the file useless.

Note If you upgrade to WCS version 4.1.82.0 without a license, you will receive a critical alarm once a day and a notification regarding lack of a license each time you log in to WCS. Without a license, you have access to all WCS functionality except adding new controllers.

Cisco strongly recommends that you print the email, save the attachment to a removable media, and store both in a safe place for future use, if needed by either yourself or anyone in your organization.

Before you proceed, make sure that the WCS server software has been installed and configured on the server.

Backup and Restore License

The license files are saved as part of the backup and restore process, so upgrading WCS will not require reentering of the license files. However, the restore must be on a system with the same host name for the restored licenses to work. If you have installed an upgraded license on your system, you must reinstall the original license, followed by the upgrade license. For example, if you have upgraded a license from base license to location license, during the reinstall, you need to first install the base license, then install the location license. To backup and restore the WCS database, refer to the "Backing Up the WCS Database" section and the "Restoring the WCS Database" section.

All confidentiality obligations of Customer and all limitations of liability and disclaimers and restrictions of warranty shall survive termination of this Agreement. In addition, the provisions of the sections titled "U.S. Government End User Purchasers" and "General Terms Applicable to the Limited Warranty Statement and End User License" shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Customer Records. Customer grants to Cisco and its independent accountants the right to examine Customer's books, records and accounts during Customer's normal business hours to verify compliance with this Agreement. In the event such audit discloses non-compliance with this Agreement, Customer shall promptly pay to Cisco the appropriate license fees, plus the reasonable cost of conducting the audit.

Export. Software and Documentation, including technical data, may be subject to U.S. export control laws, including the U.S. Export Administration Act and its associated regulations, and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries.

TO THE EXTENT AN IMPLIED WARRANTY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED, SUCH WARRANTY IS LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE EXPRESS WARRANTY PERIOD. BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY. THIS WARRANTY GIVES CUSTOMER SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND CUSTOMER MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION TO JURISDICTION. This disclaimer and exclusion shall apply even if the express warranty set forth above fails of its essential purpose.

General Terms Applicable to the Limited Warranty Statement and End User License Agreement

Disclaimer of Liabilities. REGARDLESS WHETHER ANY REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, IN NO EVENT WILL CISCO OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST REVENUE, PROFIT, OR LOST OR DAMAGED DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF CAPITAL, OR FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY OR WHETHER ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE SOFTWARE OR OTHERWISE AND EVEN IF CISCO OR ITS SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. In no event shall Cisco's or its suppliers' or licensors' liability to Customer, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of warranty, or otherwise, exceed the price paid by Customer for the Software that gave rise to the claim or if the Software is part of another Product, the price paid for such other Product. BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Customer agrees that the limitations of liability and disclaimers set forth herein will apply regardless of whether Customer has accepted the Software or any other product or service delivered by Cisco. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Cisco has set its prices and entered into this Agreement in reliance upon the disclaimers of warranty and the limitations of liability set forth herein, that the same reflect an allocation of risk between the parties (including the risk that a contract remedy may fail of its essential purpose and cause consequential loss), and that the same form an essential basis of the bargain between the parties.

The validity, interpretation, and performance of this Warranty and End User License shall be controlled by and construed under the laws of the State of California, United States of America, as if performed wholly within the state and without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws, and the State and federal courts of California shall have jurisdiction over any claim arising under this Agreement. The parties specifically disclaim the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek interim injunctive relief in any court of appropriate jurisdiction with respect to any alleged breach of such party's intellectual property or proprietary rights. If any portion hereof is found to be void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the license of the Software and Documentation and supersedes any conflicting or additional terms contained in any purchase order or elsewhere, all of which terms are excluded. This Agreement has been written in the English language, and the parties agree that the English version will govern.
